Sunlight Sash make winter gardening a pleasure 



There is none of the back-breaking, 

 patience-trying drudgery of covering 

 and uncovering the sash. No mats or 

 boards or coverings of any kind are 

 used. 



Sunlight Double Glass Sash need no covering 

 even in zero weather 



This season do your gardening under Sun- 

 light Double Glass Sash. You will be sur- 

 prised at the fine plants you can grow — at 

 the small amount of time and labor it takes. 



For instance, you can 

 s^row fine cauliflower to 

 set out in the field in the 

 Spring. Make your prep- 

 arations now to get the 

 full benefit of the sash. 



The double layer of glass takes the place 

 of mats or boards 



Between the two layers is a f^ inch transparent blanket 

 of dry still air — keeping in the heat— keeping out the cold. 

 Better than heavy, expensive mats or boards because it saves 

 labor and permits the plants to get all the light all the time 

 which means that they will grow faster and become hardier. 



Glass slips in and is held in place without putty. Can't 

 work loose. Easily replaced. 



Read what amateurs grew last season 



Fresh lettuce and radishes all winter. Cabbage, cauli- 

 flower, beets, tomatoes, peppers and sweet potatoes to set 

 out early in the Spring. Violets all winter, pansies in 



Grow fresh \-egetables for your table j
